Honest Review#11

Honest Review #11-WE ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE!
I didn’t want to even write this article tonight, there is some many things running through my head about this game. I didn’t see the end of the game live, I had practice so I had to go back and watch the Gamepass version after practice and dinner when I got back to my dorm room. I went old school and deleted both Bleacher Report and ESPN off my phone before locking my locker to go to practice. I disabled the NFL Mobile alerts for the Jets and waited to go back and watch the end of the game. I had no idea what was going to hit me in the face when I opened up my computer and logged onto the Gamepass.

Honestly I am not surprised, Fitzpatrick has been a turnover machine, and that is just how this season is going for the Jets. It is fitting that the Jets would have yet another heartbreaking loss to Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, and the Patriots. Not only that but tonight was the Tom Brady’s 200th win of his career, because of course it is. The team that ushered in the Tom Brady era in New England would give that same man his 200th career win (which does Peyton Manning for the most ever). If you don’t know what happened, Ryan Fitzpatrick fumbled the ball to clinch the game on the last drive for the Jets. The drive could have won the game if the Jets scored a touchdown, and the last drive and last offensive play is just a representation of what the 2016-17 Jets season has been so far. The team just can’t seem to get out of their own way and as a fan it is one of the most frustrating things to witness week in and week out. Brandon Marshall showed up to play in this game, catching 6 balls for 67 yards and a score. Quincy Enewa has continued to show the NFL that he is something to mess with in the league, and is a Swiss army knife player, that can’t be matchup with easily. I know that C.J. Spiller dropped a key ball, Darryl Roberts could not cover any player in a Patriot uniform and cost the Jets multiple times throughout the game, the offensive line didn’t play that well without Nick Mangold (again), and why of course Nick Folk and the special teams are still one of the worst units in the NFL. Nick Folk should have been released at halftime of this game, because he missed his 3rd field goal of the year. If you forgot, Folk also has missed 2 extra points this year, and the inability to cash in on points due to miss kicks is absolutely unacceptable at this point. The team needs all the points they can get with the injuries to the team and the inability to create a big play downfield for the offense. Nick Folk has had a good tenor in a Jet uniform, but is time for both sides to go their respective ways. The Jets play next on Monday Night Football (December 5th) against the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts have a couple extra days to prepare because they played at home against Pittsburgh. The Jets season is continuing to go down the toilet with each and every excruciating loss, and Tom Brady once again got the better of the Jets. This game has to give the Jets some sort of confidence against the Patriots because they will see them again very soon. There were positives on the both sides of the ball, but the negatives were just too big to give up against the best team in the AFC. But, as always LET’S GO J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!

The 2023 Offseason is Brian Cashman's Biggest Test Yet

Image
   Now that the World Series is over five days from now the offseason begins. With that in mind, this is the biggest offseason that Brian Cashman will have in his 25-year tenure as Yankee General Manager. For the first time since 2016 the Bronx Bombers watched the postseason from their couches, and they earned that right. Amazingly, this team finished over .500, although not that far above that mark. This iteration of the Bronx Bombers finish with the same record as that 2016 team—but the feeling with this squad feels different. Following the 2016 season, there was hope of the two power bats that would usher in the “Baby Bombers,” and in that offseason, the farm system was rated in the Top 10 in all of baseball. There was almost certainty that Brian Cashman would put a championship team around Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird, and Luis Severino that would be a title contender for years to come. There was hope. And that hope almost turned into reality. Almost. But, that was then

The Question going into the Trade Deadline for the New York Yankees

  There is a crossroads in the Bronx in between River and 161 st Street right now. As New York Yankee Manager Aaron Boone likes to put it “[the season] is right in front of them.” The second half of the season is for the taking. As we move into the dog days of summer the Bronx Bombers are nine games out of the division and now a game and a half out of the AL Wild Card race following a disappointing first series in Colorado. With that, the historic starting Tampa Bay Rays have cooled off, going 3-7 before the break while showing signs of being mortal. Baltimore, who has been keeping pace with Tampa, didn’t look like a Superpower when they split against the Yankees two series before the break. The AL East is still a Spartan Training Facility with every team above .500, the Orioles holding the first Wild Card spot, and the “struggling” Boston Red Sox tied the Yankees in the Wild Card race. And unlike Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire, help is not on the way. Aaron Judge’s toe is still a m

The Answer for the Mets

  As Yogi Berra would say “it’s déjà vu all over again.” Buck Showalter is an all too familiar place. The 67-year-old manager has taken a time machine back to 2012. No, he is not managing in Baltimore anymore, however that’s what it feels like the end of Showalter’s Oriole tenure in Queens right now. The Mets simply can’t get out of their own way. With Pete Alonso likely headed to the Injured List, the Mets scored 10 runs last night in Atlanta. 10 runs on the heels of back-to-back gut-wrenching losses at the hands of the team that has foiled the Mets for the better part of almost three decades, the Atlanta Braves. 10 runs with their hired ace, Justin Verlander, who was looking to put together good starts consecutively for the first time all season. The Mets looked like they were about to exercise some demons in Atlanta last night, and then, the other shoe dropped. It wasn’t good enough. Again. Last night, I wrote that the Mets season was on the line with Verlander toeing the slab. Well
